Microsoft to stop Exchange 2016 / 2019 security updates in October

Microsoft will conclude its Extended Security Update program for Exchange 2016 and 2019 in October, ending security patch availability for those versions. Organizations using these legacy systems will need to plan migrations or accept the operational risk of running unsupported software.

Why it matters: Exchange administrators running 2016 or 2019 must initiate upgrades or migrations before October to maintain security patch coverage, as post-cutoff systems will be exposed to unpatched vulnerabilities.
